I put my freshened 088 heads on last night and pulled the valve covers on the other engine off and saw they were 2934.

I have access to some 088 heads for free which I will completely go through so I have a ferret match on the motors, but I was just curious......

the 2934 head is a gen6 502 open chaimber marine head.it should be the same as the 088 head.the 088 head was used on 454-502 gen 5 marine from 92 and up.

they are the same as this charts shows

and heres the link to the web site,it has all the oval ports there too.

i use mortec,has all the block&head casting numbers and they go way back.

Sea,

Rectangular Port GM Part No.: Casting # / Part#
6272990 / 6260482 or 14096188 Original LS-7/LS-7 Open Chamber Designed for the MK IV block

140970088 / 14096802 Service replacement head for the Gen V block

12562925 / 12562934 Service replacement head for Gen V / VI block with 7/16 accessory holes

12562926 / 12562934 Service replacement head for Gen V / VI block with 3/8 accessory holes

The last two are current working part numbers. All heads from GM have the 2.180”/2.190” intake valve (as delivered from GM)

Verify block compatibility

All heads share the same basic port architecture and combustion chamber design. There is no significant performance differential between the heads.

Okay, so it sounds like I don't need to be worried at this point. I'll just have the 2934's gone through same as the others and keep on trucking....

I was worried I might have steered you wrong bin in what you put together for me. I should have spent the 2 minutes pulling the other valve cover off before now, but it doesn't sound like it would have necessarily changed the approach
